Causeway Prospects
‘Causeway Prospects’ is a group that meets at the church monthly and is specifically for people with learning difficulties. ‘Prosects’ is a nationwide organisation which helps such people to lead fulfilled lives. There are roughly 200 groups nationwide and their aim is to teach these folk about God, Jesus and the Bible in a way that they can understand.
- Causeway Prospects Meeting
People with learning difficulties often attend church and enjoy the singing and fellowship, but usually find it difficult follow the sermon and are therefore at risk of not getting the benefit of the teaching. The teaching at Causeway Prospects meetings is tailored to their specific needs and is easy for them to understand. They can then make an informed judgement, like anyone else, about whether to accept the Lord and become a Christian.
The meeting consists of singing special Causeway songs with the use of basic musical instruments, simple teaching and prayers which they often speak themselves. After the short meeting, there are refreshments and a time of fellowship.
The meetings are held in The Friendship Centre on the Thursday evening following the first Sunday of the month, starting at 7.30pm and all comers are made to feel very welcome.
